When Ted prays he never prays to a Father God or to a Heavenly Father. As one of his favorite authors once wrote, "There are at least ten billion names for God. Why limit ourselves to a father who is so much more than just another father figure." Here is the reason why he prays as he does.

admiring her pale gold hair and finery,

Lemon and lavender
locked in the tower,
lavender and lemon
such pretty colours
to dress up a demon...

When I first met you
you were such a pretty boy,
raised on tales in a fastness in Wales
til matriachs, priests and sorcerers
dressed you up in deceptions
and stirred you into perilous channels
with a thirst for reknown
and an eye for the crown.

Pretty maids and pages
you led astray and cast aside

Self-centeredly we go about our lives
Our prime concern our every want and need,
Our only care is that that we should survive
We're caught up in our little world of greed.

Our bellies full we toss aside the food
That others hunger for day after day
Our value oft measured by wealth accrued
We blindly join the rat race and the fray.

Glitz and glamour, tinsel and shimmer,
monkeys in suits seek to lure the young,

strolling down the burning street
bleeding from the head

Pointing to all the murderers

She's played this game before

soft tints I've known reflect a subtle tone of mindful veils.
Behind me, falling meteors I knew in fading glow
still weigh upon a path deemed overgrown past distant scales.
I look ahead, yet dare not look behind the wooded trail,
and grasp the limbs I didn't see before in boughs amassed.

O you cold-fingered maidens of February
Must you fret my mind with your tired and weary tales
And kisses of cold frost
- plucking sorry music from the harp strings of my heart,
full of omens and shipwrecks
and sagas of doomed love?

Where are the fresh-faced handmaids of May
Rosy-cheeked with eyes full of laughter,
Sunlight on their pale gold hair
And careless... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://welcomehome2.yuku.com/topic/2530 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 00:31:28 GMT <![CDATA[ Upon January ]]> http://welcomehome2.yuku.com/topic/2529/t/Upon-January.html The trees without their verdant finery

I await your softly falling footsteps
on this evening of the gilded Moon.
Do not hesitate but come to me
unswervingly across the gleaming garden
where the shadows of leaves and ferns
ripple with quietly joyful anticipation
and the passing clouds withdraw discreetly
that the gathered stars might shine
more brightly above a world that holds
its breath in wonder.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://welcomehome2.yuku.com/topic/2526 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 01:40:48 GMT <![CDATA[ Chant Royale ]]> http://welcomehome2.yuku.com/topic/2525/t/Chant-Royale.html ****didn't know if I should use pentameter or tetrameter.

Grass-lines hedge the cedar row,
fingers of frost limn edges;
dusk lies swollen,
filling winter cloud with pink.
A fence runs with the grass,
wood cold beneath her hand,
cotton-gloved and soft;
the snowy owl just watches.

There's silence springing with the eve,
rustling scents new winds;
